You tied my hands behind me
Brought me to my knees
I gave up happiness
Just to see you pleased
But I have come to realize that love is but a war
I've given up no
I won't fight no more

Thought I found love
But I didn't and now you're gone
-All That We Could Have Been

Yaser ,Trisha ,Harry ,Zakir and other Pack warriors including Gigi were in the meeting room.

It's been 4 hours since Zayn went missing and They haven't found anything else. They searched the whole area . Harry tried to track Zayn down with his scent but he couldn't.

It was as if he  Wasn't  ever there.

"Why would he take Zayn away ?" Andy asked trying to break the heavy tension.

"Only Harry can defeat him and Harry's biggest weakness is his mate...." Warner ,Selena's dad and the beta of the Pack said.

"He attacked at 10 places at same time with same amount of rougues . He has bigger power than we think. Who are these Rougues though ? They are all dead and Can't change in their human form now. But They seem familiar." Zakir said looking at Yaser.

Yaser didn't said anything for a few moments,"Cause you know them."

Everyone looked at Yaser even Harry.

"What do you mean by I know them?" Zakir asked .

"You know them . Even I and Many of us know them." Yaser calmly replied and everyone got more confused.

"Yaser. It's not the time to talk in riddles." Trisha sighed a permanent frown etched on her face.

"They are  our pack members. I could recognize 2 of them."

To say everyone was shocked on Yaser's answer was an understatement.

"What ? You must have been wrong. There are many wolves who look alike in the world." Warner pipped in.

"Yes. But all of them don't fight in the same way .One of them was,"Yaser looked at Andy ," Jack."

Andy looked  at Yaser with Wide Eyes. So did the others . Harry tried to remember and Jack was the Previous Gamma. Andy's brother Jack.

"But he-he..." Andy couldn't even say anything.

"Yes. I know. He went missing during the war and We all thought he died . But He was my Gamma. I have spent 20 years with him. I knew his fighting techniques and he knew mine. That's why it was so hard to defeat them today. " Yaser moved towards the area where books were kept.

"I doubt all of them were from our pack. And Maybe the previous war is also somehow connected to that Vampwolf. They were under some magical spell or Maybe he convinced them go work against us. I have already talked with Alpha Geoff. His and Our pack were under attack at that war and Many members from there pack disappeared too. If the Rougues  that attacked them turns out to be their pack members than we are in more deep trouble ."

No one said a word. Their own pack members attacking them . Harry could understand the Vampwolf's plan now. No wolf pack or Vampire Clan were supporting the Vampwolf. So it was a big question how he managed to kill people of these 10 packs at a same time  and now these Rougues attack. But Maybe the answer of this question was that the Vampwolf has been holding hostage of these wolves since war. But How did he managed this all ??

It was all so frustrating. They couldn't even search for the Vampwolf because no one knew where he lived. No one has even seen him and Now he had Zayn with him.

" Harry... Mate" Aouli whimpered And Harry felt it too.It was a kind of Emptiness that was spreading in Harry's heart. Something was wrong with Zayn.

Maybe he is dying....

Harry thought and he Quickly walked out if the room. Harry ran out in the forest.  Zayn...is dying.

"NO" Aouli shouted. "He is not . We will feel the pain if he.... But no. He is in some danger. We have to find him. Soon."

"Where - " Harry stopped when he heard some movements behind him. He turned around but no one was there. He heard the movements again from behind him and turned again but again no one was there.

"Who is there ?? Come out !!" Harry yelled but no answer came. Harry stood still looking around when he again heard the movements. He was just quick enough to move a little as the arrow passed few inches away from him.

Harry quickly ran in the direction from where the arrow has came but when he reached there no one was there. Harry tried to find the person but he couldn't find anyone there.

Harry ran back to the place where he could see the arrow on the tree. It had missed Harry and had hit the tree instead. Harry took the arrow out of the tree and he could see a paper rolled on it. He carefully detached the paper from the arrow.

Harry closed his eyes as the smell hit him. It was Zayn's blood. He opened the paper with shacky hands and it read :

I'm not that cruel,now am I ? I can't keep you away from your pretty little mate. So I'm returning him...well in a way. You and I both don't want the bloodshed. So...be my guest ! For now just look around....

Harry didn't knew what the Vampwolf meant but he knew Zayn was somewhere near him. So he started going deeper in the forest. Yelling Zayn's name trying to find him.

Harry was crying after 15 minutes because he couldn't find Zayn maybe the Vampwolf was playing tricks on him. Harry was about to give up when he could smell Zayn's scent. It was in the air . it was really faint but it Was Zayn's scent. Harry ran in the Direction and finally after 5minutes he found Zayn.

Zayn was lying on the ground. Motionless. Harry was on Zayn's side in less than a second. Harry sat beside Zayn. Zayn was wearing a plane t-shirt and Jeans. Harry checked his bodies for any injuries but there were none.

He quickly pulled Zayn up in his arms hugging him tight. Zayn was with him. Everything will be alright.  Zayn is safe.
